Parade Love

This afternoon I took Gretchen downtown to see her first parade. She definitely slept in her CuddlyWrap through the entire event, but it was fun all the same! I love parades & I hope she will too. The next one I take her to will probably be for Canada Day. She'll be a little older for that one & hopefully awake.

She's such an adorable little sleeper (though I'm not sure how she managed to sleep through all that noise).

What a little sweet pea.


My sleepy little parade goer.


I was a little nervous about these girls being tossed around. I was paranoid that one would hit the pavement.


This girl is a horse girl at heart. I just love them.


I heart downtown Peterborough.



She even slept the entire walk home.

It was so nice to have such a wonderfully sunny day today.



What did you fine folk do with your lovely Sunday afternoon?

I haven't been on a visit to Peterborough in a long time, but I also heart downtown.

A funny thing though, I think that Hamilton and Peterborough must have been designed around the same city-street plan.

Whenever I visit my mom (who has newly moved to Hamilton) I get all confused and think I should know my way, because it seems so much like Peterborough with 2 main one way streets, and similar downtown, and street names. it really throws a gal off!

I haven't actually been to Hamilton, but I've heard that the layout is a little similar. Are you from Peterborough? Or go to school here? ^_^

I actually have never lived in Peterborough, but a number of my friends from Ottawa were born and raised in the Peter-patch and when everyone would leave school for long weekends, I would often tag along.

Also, my husband is from Campbellford, so Peterborough is the big city, (along with Belleville of course!)

Oh rad! There seems to be a HUGE migration of people from Peterborough to Ottawa :)

I TOTALLY understand about those 'flying' girls! They had some at the last lot of basketball games I went to, and every time someone got flung up into the air I would cringe and hide behind The Boy! I was SURE one of them would be dropped. Glad I'm not alone on that boat :)

Hah, definitely not! It looks TERRIFYING!
